I believe it is Warriors Tier 6? Sure looks like it.Couldn't find the link to it, sorry.

The axe though.. whoosh. Crazy ;)Isn't it a bit too fast though, with 3.40 speed?I haven't played much 2h warrior or any 2h class for that matter..

Comment by hunter281

I just had this axe made for me and it is definitely worth it. The only thing I'm sad about is the hit to my health bar (no stamina on the weapon). Otherwise, it's golden. Slap a +70 AP enchantment on it and you're good to go.

No, the speed has a significant effect on the damage output for an MS warrior. We want the slowest weapon possible in order to get the biggest hits we can with our instant attacks. (MS, WW, and Overpower) That's really the most annoying part about this weapon. While the stats are great, very great, the weapon is faster than an MSer would like. This weapon's grand daddy, the venerable Arcanite Reaper, reigned supreme because of how incredibly stinking slow it was, 3.8 speed. It's sad to see it's descendant in the BC be this fast.

I Cant believe im reading such a stupid comment. Instant attacks were normalized( like 18 months ago lol ), and on top of that with rage normalization, weapon speed plays an even lesser role.

Comment by Netty07

If a Warrior with a weapon speed of 3.80, but DPS of 95 and a Warrior with a Weapon speed of 3.20 but a DPS of 105 where to nuke the same mob, the Warrior with the 3.20, 105 DPS weapon would win.

But, because the fact that Warrior's don't acctually get to hit their enemies much in 'PVP', they would prefer a slow weapon for maximum burst damage.

In PVE however, when a Warrior is constantly hitting a target, it doesn't really matter what speed the weapon is. Just what DPS the weapon has.

This axe lacks Stamina, and speed for it to be viable in a PVP situation, this is more of a PVE DPS weapon.

Comment by Morsexier

So you're saying im stupid because were talking about some random weapon you havent identified because it has a higher top end *Just because* its slower?

Maybe YOU need to understand how the rage normalization formula works and know that it is ALL about the DPS or Damage Per Second of the weapon in questions ie: 105.7 81.2 etc.

So quite honestly my motivation to take a 2h weapon that has 550 top end and 125 dps 3.8 speed vs 3.2 speed 125 dps 515 top end is greatly diminished, especially considering that a faster weapon means ill probably get 2 hits in in a pvp situation vs a much slower weapon and gain the same rage.

Let me remind you what you said "slowest weapon possible". In the old formulas Arcanite reaper was better than everything else because of the fact you just said. Now this is no longer the case, better weapons are truly "better" than before.

Comment by Tuks

it makes a diference when INSTA atacks comes in the equation.. for arms warrior no mater the dps, the DAMAGE range is what its important... or a Shami.. where the only important dmg comes when you get a WF, or jsut swinging StormStrike.. no mater the weapon speed, you gona get a SS each 10 sec.. and the WF of a slower weapon can DESTROY a clothi

MATH FOR INSTANT ATTACKS

Seems like a lot of people still don't understand.

The instant attack equation has 2 halves. The first half is the weapons damage which is somewhere near 370 for this weapon. You might notice that you hit a lot harder than 370 with a 2-hander though? How can this be? Oh yeah, attack power. Attack power is the part that got normalized to speed. So a slow weapon still has a better base damage, but what Tyyriym was talking about is that attack power no longer gets a speed mulitplier because all 2-handers are normalized to 3.3 speed.

-----------

If you have 2000 attack power (buffed) and you have a 108 DPS weapon then...

***3.2 speed - 816 damage*** - you get 471 damage from attack power and 345 from weapon damage

***3.4 speed - 838 damage*** - you get 471 damage from attack power and 367 from weapon damage

***3.6 speed - 859 damage*** - you get 471 damage from attack power and 388 from weapon damage

***3.8 speed - 881 damage*** - you get 471 damage from attack power and 410 from weapon damage

Comment by bebbe

Really can't make up my mind if should level blacksmithing to get one of those weapons (lunar crescent, thunder etc) or this one.

I'm not planning to go prot so i won't do enough heroics to upgrade my weapon probably.

Anyone who can help me make up my mind? :)

10x10x8x6x (yes, SIX nethers)

Comment by Juggernaut

Yes, that's because you now will be able to turn Badges Of Justice in exchange for nethers, i've no idea how much tho.

Comment by Olioster

I'm curious if any enhancement shamans have gotten this for PvP burst damage and what they think o f it. I'm thinking of getting it.

Comment by Morax

Got it last night, the mats are really not that hard to get. If you are a miner like me, you can get primal fires and earths by farming fel iron in Hellfire Penn (and, ofc the ore -> bars) and buy the rest with the money you gain by selling the fel iron and the Eternium ore of you are luck enough to get more then is needed for the axe itself.

If not, you can always farm tons of water motes on the water part of the plateau, that's of course if the opposing faction is not there and looking to pick a fight. Mana is easy enough to get in Netherstorm and the only type really tricky is air, as mote of air semes to have a slightly lower drop rate then it's water/fire/mana counterparts.

Comment by Jetdoctr

I'm a MM hunter and was looking at getting 2 Felsteel Longblades (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23540) and a guildy whom i respect ALOT suggested that I get this instead....

considering no agi or stam on this as compared to the blades, I am concerned and unsure...I RARELY melee....so I only want the best overall stats...so melee dps doesnt really matter to me...ranged ftw :)

So which is better, this axe, or 2x the felsteel longblades..?? If one of you number crunching guru's can run the numbers...i'd greatly appreciate it!!

tyvm for your reply

Comment by Shatter

I had this crafted for my MM hunter and I am very happy with it. The only disappointing thing about this axe is the nonexistant stamina. However, the AP you gain from this, plus the 35 agi enchant you can slap on makes it a great choice for a non BS and if you are not able to raid often.

The mats are very easy to farm, took me approximately 3 days to farm, and I bought the bars on the ah which came to around 170? gold. Not too bad imo.

Comment by traxes

gotta ask u somthing guys : is this axe better to use than the vengeful one ( hunter ) ?i allready have vengeful one, but atm, my friend wanna give me mats if i wanna craft this one, so i'm bit confused and dont know what to do.... can u help me somehow? thanks :)btw : i'm BM specced

Comment by loragheta

responding to who asked what set it is that is the warriors tier 6

Comment by oxbloodoi270427

IMO this is still really nice for a hunter..but hunters only get this if you do nothing (raid,pvp) and still want decent gear this is yer axe....but i had this axe from right when i was 70 ever since i went past gruul....then i got the s3 axe...if you would rather get gladiator armor instead of the axe..go for it and get this axe its quite good

Comment by eturtle

the T6 set fo warriors, Onslaught

Comment by WoWFan123

A little nub that one poster was that asked what set this is. Ofc its tier 6 and obviously its a little kid lookin for gear he will never get. Anyway, I was wondering if its worth me as a raid bound MS warr to go for the Glad Decapitator, or to save mats/buy this badboy. The AP and slight crit on this wep is very attractive and DPS is quite nice for what I need.

Comment by akarith

for how easy it is to farm gold now with dailies, this axe is well worth the cost, especially for a hunter. takes much less effort then raiding/pvp-ing to get an axe that has AP up to par with this one. slap savagery on this thing and its a hunters AP dream!

Comment by Rajen

Felsteel reaper, HOOOOOO!

Comment by Saoul

Any good as an Off-hand for TG? It's wonderful +Savagery on a Hunter, and I was just wondering if it would be worth it to craft this for him, or the http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?item=23546. Same mats, it looks like.

Felsteel Reaper HO- no...just...it doesn't work...

Comment by Magmarrax

Felsteel Reaper! HOOOOO!

Not as good as the "Arcanite Reaper! HOOOOO!" though is it?

Comment by hellomynameis

For Transmogging in 4.3, this would be perfect with the T 2.5 paladin set, but with the current AH prices on those mats, it would cost 5-6k gold to make it. If you are horde, Hellscream's Will would be much easier to get.

Comment by jameschief

Jameschief- Emerald Dream EU can craft this weapon aswell as the Runic Hammer If anyone needs one crafting.
